routr 2.0.0.9000

Breaking: New routing engine based on the waysign package. All the path syntax of the waysign package now supported along with massive speedup in handler lookup. This is marked breaking because there may be edge cases where the priority of handlers has changed. For the vast majority of use cases you shouldn't expect behavioral changes.
The return value of handlers are no longer checked in the service of micro-performance gains. Any non-TRUE value will signal an end to routing

You can now set the cache folder when using report_route() so that it can be reused between instances (#26)
Output types for reports can now be selected by name by appending the name of the format to the path (e.g. /report/revealjs). This is in addition to the current options of content negotiation and file extension appending (#28)
Report parameters can now be passed in with the request body using a POST request. The parameters must be formatted as JSON (#27)
Report caching can now be scoped to the client id (#31)
Quarto reports based on python now works properly with regards to extracting output formats and parameters (#29)
Cached reports can now be deleted explicitly by sending a DELETE request. All versions of the report (with regard to parameters) are deleted. If you use a format-specific path only cached versions of that format is deleted (#30)
Add support for OpenTelemetry through the otel package (#33)
The openapi_route() now better handles docs served through a proxy

Use native rlang type checking instead of assertthat

The file system path in ressource_route() is no longer expected to be absolute (#18)
The Content-Type header is now set correctly when serving the default file in ressource_route() (#19)
Added openapi_route() for serving API spec based on an openapi spec file
Cleaned up condition handling in the interaction with fiery when used as a plug-in
Added reject_missing_methods argument to Route$add_handler() to automatically catch requests to the handler path that doesn't have a matching method and return 405L
Added shared_secret_route() for creating simple shared secret request rejection
Added empty fields to Route and RouteStack classes
Added ignore_trailing_slash argument to the RouteStack constructor. It allows the route stack to ignore the trailing slash of request in different ways
Add redirection functionality to RouteStack
wilcard matches to paths are now also provided in the key argument
Support returning promises from handlers
Added report_route() to create a route that automatically renders and serves quarto and rmarkdown files

Add get_handler() method to Route (#9, @cpsievert)
Add root field to Route which will get appended to all paths before matching to an incomming request
Add remap_handlers() to loop through all handlers and reassign them based on a user provided function. (#8)
Added pkgdown site at https://routr.data-imaginist.com

Add on_error() method to modify how errors are handled. The default is now to return 500 without any body and print the error message with message().
Modified on_attach() method that uses the new logging system to log route errors.
